Products used

Wood-line straight benches and seats

Context

Urbastyle supplied a range of Wood-line straight benches and seats for Bristol Business School at the Frenchay Campus, UWE Bristol's main campus, located four miles north of Bristol city centre.

The benches were positioned at the meeting point of the UWE students' union building and the Bristol Business School to create a convivial meeting place for students in this area.

Products supplied

The contemporary Wood-line benches and seats are manufactured from Ultra High Performance Concrete in White colourway and have sapele timber slatted seats. They also have an anti-graffiti coating. A waterproof finish helps to keep the seats usable, even in wetter weather conditions.

Outcome

"The heartzone amenity space is the link between the new Students’ Union and the rest of the campus. Urbastyle worked closely with Hardscaping Solutions Limited and Stride Treglown in Bristol to ensure the product specification was correct, and that the finishes and colors followed on from the Urbastyle Woodline benches supplied on an earlier phase of the university campus. The high quality of the finished products, color and surface finish reflect the modern building design, and help to provide an external environment in keeping with the building and campus quality, and providing areas for the students to meet and relax between lectures."
